HIS CONDITION.
The following has been issued by DIR.
Searle ut the time indicated:
"Sp. m.-This day, in the history of Mr..
Beecher's sickness, has been marked by
frequent fluctuations within narrow lin
its. The rate of neither pulse, tenn
perature nor respiration has long
been constant The pulse has on
the whole increased in rapidity, once
rising to ia and now marking 40. The
rate of respiration is now 40. The temper
ature has varied between 101 and its pres
ent point 994. In general, it may be said
said that his condition is worse than at
any previous time. The character of
the pulse has changed, it is now
dicrotic-tumulous - indicating failure
of heart power. The respirations have
increased In frequency, and are more i'm
peded by greater accumulations ofmucuous
trechea than yesterday, though not to so

sions. 1t is impossible to conclude with
any approach TO certainty whether death
will come by asphyxia, failure Of the res
siratory centres, or from paralysis of the
heart, or both; or, as has been stated,
from recurrence of the hemOrrhage. 1t
is therefore obviously impossible to
indicate the probable time of ter
minatiOn of the disease. 1t is
however, the opinion of the physi-
clan that the limit will not be reached to-
night. 1t is unnecessary TO add that Mr..
Beecher is entirely unconscious and suffers
no pain. Doubtless his condition is that
of one in a troubled dream.

FIRST FEASIBLE MEASURE.
The Bill TO Regulate the Production of OIL
and Gas.


and Gas.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March THE bill
introduced in the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives on Friday, providing that
no oil or gas well shall be drilled on any
tract within distance Uf 300 feet of the
boundary line itself, in which case the
product Of the well shall be equally divided
between the adjoining land owners, is the
first feasible measure that has ever been
suggested by which the excessive produc-
tion of petroleum could be prevented by
law.
1t has been the history Of all oil pro-
ducing territories that large proportion
Of the land owners, in order to save their
oil to themselves, have been forced to de-
velOp territory which they would have
preferred TO have remained undeveloped
until some more advantageous time.
There has always been a class Of pro-
ducers who are determined TO get all the
oil possible out OF land in their control, in
as short q time as possible, now matter
how large the total daily product of the
region is, or how low the market price
rules. To this they have strung wells so
close to their boundary lines that not only
the oil on their own lands was drained, but
the deposits on the other side of the line
were drawn upon as well. The latter
might belong to persons who desired TO let
the territory lie idle for q time, but if they
did so the chances were that when they
came to utilize it by drilling they would
find it in a great measure drained dry by
the enterprising operators OH the other
81 ie of the line.
If law such rs the one proposed had
been passed five years ago, over 90, OOO, 600
barrels of oil would have been saved to the
oil regions by keeping the supply within
the demand, and thousands of acres of oil
territory now exhausted would have been
still untouched by the drill. The bill will
be bitterly opposed by a large class of pro-
ducers, however, and the fight against it
will be made on the ground that ii is un-
constitutional

The Strike Spreading at Youngstown-In-

YOUNGSTOWN, o., March THE strik-
ing brakemen of the New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio Railroad held a meeting
this morning.
They decided TO stand by their position
and accept no compromise, insisting that
the company shall retain the third brake
man on all freight and yard crews. They
decided unanimously to use all efforts to
protect the property Of the company and
retain public sentiment on their side.
The excitement was increased this morn
ing By the conductors and bTakemen in
the employ Of the Pennsylvania Company
striking and no freight is being moved in
or out of the yards. They ask that con-
ductOrs shall receive twenty-six cents per
hour, brakemen nineteen and a half cents
per hour, and that ten hours shall consti-
tute days work, and pay at the same

WASHINGTON, March THE Signal
Service is likely to be sadly pinched by
the failure of the General Deficiency Ap-
preparation bill. The deficiency estimated
for this sery ice aggregated S23, 40, n large
part of the total being estimated for trans
portatiOn and mileage. The most serious
consequence of the failure of the bill, per
hapS, will be the discOntinuance of the
storm warning, cold waves, &c, TO num-
ber of important points.

VIII Not Approve the Biu.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Although pres

President to induce him to approve the

ested to establish the authority of the Ex-
executive TO sign any bill within ten days
after the adjournment of Congress, 1T IS
positively stated at the White House that
the President will not approve the bill.

The Drummers Tax.

WASHINGTON, March THE Supreme
Court has to-day rendered decision in a
case brought from Tennessee, which in
wolves the right of one State or municipali-
ty to impose license tax on drummers, or
travelling statesmen, or otherwise. The de-
cision is that such taxation is an inter
ference with inter State commerce, and is
therefore unconstitutional.

make any especial celebration on that date,
but il is quite probable that he will enjoy
it in a quiet, domestic way. He will be
only the fourth President celebrating his

rate for all overtime. The advance asked
is two and half cents per hour TO brake
men and four cents per hour to conductors.
The demand for this advance was made
two months ago, and-the men, receiving no
answer, decided to pull out this morning.
They held a meeting in Diamond Hall this
morning and appointed several committees.
They manifest determination to secure
the advance or not return to work. Super
intendent Kimball came here and met the
men, but no settlement was affected.
The brakemen on the Pittsburgh, Cleve-
land and Toledo railroad here have asked
hat third brakeman be put on, and, if
it is not conceded, assert they will strike on
Thursday Of this week.
Industrial establishments are badly
crippled for stock and general shut down
is imperative this week unless traffic is re-
sumed
The strike of the yard men ut foungs-
town, on the Erie and Ashtabula branch
of the Pennsylvania Co., is having Sc
rious effect upon the business in Mahoning
valley. The yard conductors have de-
manded an advance in wages from 81 p
to s.. 90, and the yard freight brakemen
from $l.75 to $l.95. They ask that they
Re paid these wages for ten hours and ex
ira pay in the same proportion for all over
work.
A demand was made some time ago, and
the officials thought that everything
had been satisfactorily arranged. The
men who are now on q strike are four or
five conductors and fifteen brakemen.
While the number is not large, it complete
ly stopped freight traffic at Youngstown.
The officials OF the road have refused to
accept freight either from or for Youngs-
town until the strike is settled. II it con-
tinues all freight will be shut out at points
between Struthers, o., and rs far north as
Warren, o. The furnace people in the
valley are well supplied with ore and coke,
but rs they will be unable to move freight
ears, it may become necessary to hank
up" all of the blast furnaces in the valley
if the strike is not settled.

Ben: Perley Poore's Work.

Without doubt, one of the most in- teresiing works published of late, are inc "Poore's "Reminiscences" both volumes oI which have been received at this office, from the publishers, 4. l.. Bancroft & Co., oi San Francisco. Ben Ferlcy Poore has a national reputation as one oi the most interesting writers oi the present age Hi- "reminiscences covers a period of sixty years in Wash ingt9n, and abounds Tn anecdote humOr and history during that wonderfully in- tercsting period, dating back to the election of John Quincy Adams and in cluiing the exciting times in which those giants, Clay, Webster, Everett, Jackson, Calhoun, Van Buren, Polk, Houston, Seward, Stevens, Douglas, sumner, Davis, Lincoln, Grant and host of others flourishej. At the begin ming If this period Washington Was in its
 infancy, but it has grown with the years into one oi the most extended and ele- clnt of cities. The history of this growth Nr. Poore gives from his own observa- tian, cnliyening the story with many of those charming little incidents with which all his writings sparkle. The nations darkest days. as well as some of its brightest, are included in the times uf which these.volumes treat, and they include as much Of national romance as any equal period in any nations his tory.
 They also give clear insight into the private character, social life, jealousies. rivairies and peculiarities constituting the secret motives which largely inhu- cnce even the greatest men In their public actions. This is view seldom gained. Great mems names and deeds arc familiar, but the men themselves, their mental habits, their appearance, their associates, their personal character i-tics, are far less known. To these es- pcciaily this work introduces its readers.
 Commencing with the eventfnl cleo ton oi John Quincy Adams by the House of Representatives, MT. Poore narra,cs the social events at the then infant Metropolis, with the peculiar private life Of the "old man eloquent, the tedious travelling of those days, old fashioned ways and customs Tn public and in private-eyerything, m short, iiien popular, but now so odd, Is touched upon and told in Mir Poore's inimitable way.
 The convivialities and domestic in tl-ues of "0ld Hickory's day" are set forth. with anecdotes of Webster, Clay, MTs Eaton, Fanny Kemble and others.
 ln a word, verbal panorama is un- rolled, in which is depicted life in Washington for nearly three score years.
 l-u po;raierenot mylts Of pllcol tir cel-Iritias or accounts of poliiicalevents, hat the inner social life, the fashionable gayetiez, the literary encounters, the ioyi5l anecdotes, the Bohemian .revelries tLtt tit l4N>Ant iaoiS-Chat, "hiOh' "HS4 combined in harmonious mosaic, give .ae reader a correct, yet entertaining anl most amusing account of Lie in Washington.
 This interesting work, which should inl place in the library of every reading man in the country, IS sold only by subscription, Miss Georgia McClin- lock being the agent in Prescott. She has taken "a large number of orders here, and parties who have TO: yet obtained these volumes should lose no time iD giving their orders to her.
